Merrick Garland, who apparently had everyone thinking was Wally Cox but who today turned out to be Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson instead, has just outmaneuvered Benedict Donald on the chessboard.
Garland has put Trump in the position of having to reject making the Mar-a-Lago search warrant public. Which Trump has not done since Monday, even though he has a copy. And which means all those Republicans who have been screaming for DOJ "transparency" will suddenly have to say, "You know what? Never mind."
Yes, Garland is driven only by the rule of law and the need to follow it regardless of political factors. But today he clearly got the political upper hand. Trump has until 3 pm tomorrow to declare whether he will oppose the disclosure of the warrant. Sweet!
Meanwhile, we're trying really hard not to think about what The Washington Post is reporting right now — that the documents Trump took were related to our nation's nuclear capability. Hmmm. As people more sage than we have pointed out, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg got the chair — and it was Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn, who helped send them there. We cats are pretty scared, and we HISS.
